My Mavic 2 Zoom went unused for a couple years and when I got back to it, I discovered I needed to do a vision sensor calibration. In the interim, I upgraded my computer and didn't carry over the old version of DJI Assistant 2.

That's when the fun started in trying to find an Assistant 2 version that would work. After much downloading and trying versions that would not work, I finally found one that would. The correct DJI Assistant 2 download for the Mavic 2, Pro and Zoom is located HERE in a section entitled "DJI Assistant 2 (Updates Discontinued)." It will install version 2.0.14. NOTE: Each time you run the program it will ask you if you want to install the updated version. DON'T upgrade as it will install the DJI Assistant 2 (Consumer Drone Series) which will not work. Also NOTE, if you have any versions of Assistant 2 on your computer that didn't work, be sure to uninstall them followed by a reboot. Also do a reboot after installing the correct version.

Some folks say you need to load and run Assistant 2 in a specific order. What works for me is to hook up my drone to my computer via the USB C cable, then power on the drone, then run the Assistant 2 program. As noted above, each time I run the program it asks if i want to install a version that "fixes some issues and improves overall software stability" to which I choose CANCEL.

Thanks for looking.

Assistant 2 for Consumer drones works perfect on both my Mavic 2 Pro and Zoom. And that is what DJI recommends.
I just tried it 5 minutes ago, working fine.

According to DJI the version you link to is not recommended for Mavic 2, only for Mavic.
 
When I follow that HERE link, I do go to a page that states "DJI Assistant 2(Updates discontinued)".

But it's for version 1.2.5 for Windows/1.2.4 for Mac, NOT version version 2.0.14 as you state.

EDIT: Note that I do keep a version of DJI Assistant 2 v1.1.2, which previously was the only version that would allow the edit of the Mavic 2 Pro to allow one to change the mode-switch to put the aircraft in ATTI mode (search these forums for 'ATTI hack). And even if a DJI page doesn't state that that some v1 versions are for the non-Pro Mavic line, it is the app that works for this purpose (on my Mavic 2 Pro) and I've done that a few times.

After doing that, I uninstall that v1 version and reinstall a v2 version to do other things (standard calibrations, etc.)
